| About the Hospital Search |
Health Partners has agreements with most private hospitals that are likely
to be accessed by members. These agreements ensure that an agreed schedule of fees
(including in-patient accommodation, theatre and special unit accommodation fees as appropriate)
is charged by the hospital and paid by Health Partners on the member’s behalf. Please note that a
member’s benefit entitlements will be affected by factors such as their level and type of
cover and the financial status of their membership. This will affect the amount Health Partners
will reimburse to the hospital.
Health Partners strongly recommends the member contact them on 1300 113 113 to confirm their
benefit entitlement prior to receiving hospital treatment.
NB. Members who choose a non-agreement hospital may incur out-of-pocket
expenses for most hospital related services irrespective of their level of cover.

| Please note |
Search results will continue to include those private hospitals with which Health Partners has previously accepted contracts
until such time as Health Partners terminates a contract. This means that the search results will continue to
display information relating to a private hospital where a contract with that hospital is up for renewal but Health Partners
has not yet decided whether or not to renew the contract.
Health Partners will use its best endeavours to respond promptly to renewals so that search
results are as accurate as is reasonably possible. |
